MET Opera
Written By: Mary Adair Trumbly - Highlands PAC | Issue: 2015/03 - March
The Highlands Performing Arts Center will stage the MET’s performance of Rossini’s “La Donna Del Lago” at 12:55 P.M. Saturday, March 14. This stirring opera, set in Scotland, tells the story of Elena, the Lady of the Lake. This most beautiful woman makes her daily crossing while shepherds watch their flocks and men hunt in the woods. She sings of her love for Malcolm Groeme, but comes across King James, who has disguised himself as “Uberto,” hoping to meet her. Believing the king to be a hunter who has lost his way, she offers him hospitality and they depart for her home, while the king’s men search for their disguised leader. Mystery, war, deception, and love fill this opera based on the poem “The Lady of the Lake” by Walter Scott. A pre-opera discussion lead by Beverly Pittman will begin at 12:30 P.M. Cost for adults is $24; $20.40 for MET and PAC members

Don’t miss a chance to see one of the premier ballet companies in the world perform this classic love story.
